One tip using this green... If you don't like the bitter taste, try blanching it for few seconds til wilts then squeeze most of liquid out then season with sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper and salt and pepper to taste. Massage with your hands a bit and serve with rice. I just made some and it's delicious! :). Not much bitterness at all! I love bitter foods anyway since its good for you! Thanks for the video!
I happen to have sesame oil and seeds on hand. Thank you. I was looking for a way to cook these. Raw was a bit tough, though the smaller leaves are tender.
something I found out by experimenting: if you wrap a double layer of paper towels around the greens then put them in the plastic bag they will not wilt or become brown as fast. love your video. thank you.
then do you leave the plastic bag open for a little airflow, or completely sealed shut ?
Greetings from Bangalore, India.
I grew Dandelion greens by chance, actually thinking they are arugula. And thought so for quite some time even though the peppery taste associated with arugula was missing. Not being in a very salad savvy environment I have been learning about salad greens as I go along.
Then I found arugula in a fancy grocery shop and realised the difference. Searched internet and found that what I was growing was Dandelion greens.
By then I had been eating dandelion greens raw in roasted beet salad with feta cheese...and I had come to love it. I will continue that, plus I saw your recipe for sautéing it with soy sauce here. And I have found that it tastes delicious with scrambled egg as well...
Thank you for explaining about the nutritional value of these greens.
How do you cook it with scrambled eggs
When I was a kid growing up in Germany we ate them raw. Vinaigrette dressing and fry up some bacon bits. Mix it up with the dressing and bacon, then pour some bacon grease over it and mix it up again. I still do it that way today. As far as butter lettuce goes I think this is the best lettuce on the planet. Here is a dressing that was passed down to me. No measuring cups needed, just taste it as you go. All you need is Mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and dill weed. Mix it up to the taste you like. If the vinegar flavor is to strong just add a bit more sugar. This is an old German way of doing this. Have fun.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Today I'm trying to grow my Dandelions in a pot instead of picking them in the yard. I think in the pot I may get them year round, I hope.
+Beerrunner81 you ruined the nutrition with the bacon
+{ Ace-Kid97 } didn't ruin or take away the nutrients. instead put in some bad fats N carbs is all
Very true, BACON no no no no never
I love fresh dandeloin for our morning salad, mixed with olive oil and lemon juice, topped with grilled chicken, few raisins, red onions and tomatoes, but expect urinating more after an hour. This is total cleansing vegie. Good for your liver and all. Thank you Dani.
a morning salad💗
After seeing your video, I decided to simply quickly fry a tiny amount of dandelions leaves and their flowers that I grabbed up in just a minute from my lawn. I added butter and garlic salt, and then I served them with soy sauce and was shocked at how great they tasted. So tomorrow in daylight, I shall gather a large pile of wild dandelions and try out your recipe. Thanks for the idea. I had only been adding them to smoothies for their nutrition. I didn't realize they might actually taste good cooked. Thanks!
I hope your lawn isn’t treated with chemicals though
I love when I search the Internet and find help. Thanks
Clean & Delicious

As a child I used to go with my Mom in the fields and pick them. I always picked the baby ones because in a salad they are delicious. We always steam and saute' the bigger ones..
Yummy !!! Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories...
I'm Greek so I was raised eating Dandelion Greens. We steam them, then add fresh lemon juice, and a good Greek Extra Virgin Olive oil, with salt. They are so delicious this way and no soy sauce please! Lol.
Just picked some fresh from area in back yard that was safe. I made a salad with some chopped cabbage and tossed with dressing. Dressing: 2tlbsp of raspberry vinaigrette dressing
1tsp white vinegar
1tblsp sugar
1/2 tsp soy sauce
2tblsp olive oil or more
1tsp mayo
Salt and pepper to taste
Whisk and pour over
It was so good
Thank you for sharing your dressing recipe.
My FAVORITE greens! I blanch them in boiling water for about 2 mins then after draining them I add some olive oil, salt and lemon juice and eat like that. Great!
Me too so so good I never knew and they're everywhere in my back yard wow
My family are German and Pennsylvania Dutch. My grandmother wilted these greens with sugared vinegar bacon grease and chopped bacon. She would make homemade bread and sop up the bacon grease and put a bunch of greens and onion on a peice of warm bread and it was delicious!
Nice. My mother would cook the dandelion greens in water, changing the water at least twice.
Ever freeze the greens for useing them in winter.
Wow, I have a garden FULL of these things. I never knew you could actually make them into something edible. Going out there right now to pick them and try them for dinner.
Yeah, the whole thing is edible. I believe the flowers are used for tea, and the root can be added to things as a flavoring. Lots of health benefits. Many uses in English and early American cuisine
how was it?
I think the store baught dandelion greens are a different type compared to the ones that grow in our gard. Because they definitely are much bigger and better quality.
@@wolfy1987 You can eat the flowers on their own as well. The root can be baked until really dry and then crushed to make a coffee substitute. You can also make tea from the leaves, and if you make jelly from the flowers it can be used as a honey substitute. The flowers can also be used to make wine. Dandelions aren't native to North America; they were intentionally introduced here by the colonists because they're so versatile, useful, and easy to grow.
love all your videos!!!...your 101's are most helpful...and your new kitchen (in another video) is beautiful!!!...all the recipes really inspire me to cook healthy meals...thank you so much!!!
Looks delicious! 😍 Ready for the health benefits too! Thank you!
A wonderful video and helpful too. I thank you for this recipe. My grandmothers' favourite greens.
Just followed your recipe after watching the video! The greens were delicious! Thanks!
I think i just saw the best cooking video in the world!!! Realy, you should have a own cooking show. Thanks for the video!
Also try this recipe: brown onion in olive oil until they get dark brown and then add dandelion with salt, pepper and cumin, the carmalized onions gives it a great flavor.
olive oil should never be heated
I’ve been putting young dandelion leaves in my salads for years.
I’m going to follow your recipes.
Thanks
thank you for the informative video. very helpful, i will go and pick some from my garden right now!!
I picked up a bunch on a whim, and then read about people saying they're bitter. I don't much like bitter! But then I cooked some with bacon, onions, garlic, raisins, and balsamic vinegar, and that tamed down the bitter with no need for all the sugar in many of the recipes out there. Onions have a lot of sugar already, bacon is sugar cured, and of course raisins are almost all sugar, so there's no need to add syrup or sugar.
First time using these nutritious greens and I decided to put them into my Mexican Albóndiga soup and there was barely any taste to them but it paired well with the cilantro bunch I threw in 👌🏼definitely will be incorporating these greens into more of my meals
just had me a nice salad tonight with a bunch of dandelion greens and fresh spinach.. so awesome i used oil and nutritional yeast to take the bite of the bitter with some fresh organic orange juice on it so yummy! love dandelions so much energy after you eat them.:)
trying for my first time today. thank you for the help.
Thank you.When I was a child this was our first spring salad.
Eating them as a salad right now with one's I just picked from my own yard, made my favorite olive oil honey mustard dressing to go right on top. Yum!
That sounds so good!! What do you like to mix them with for salad?
I am indigenous Montagmard Jarai live in North Carolina I lived in my yard today sauté with garlic, green onion , fish sauce also add with lime juice so tasty
thank you for all your videos with great information in them. love them
+Konstantin Abramov-Heffron Yay! Thanks for being here!
This is like the Best Food in the World, the benefits are astronomical and endless! I think im going to get addicted to Dandelion & i never want to be Sober!!! Nice Video! 😁
Great information! Loved it 🥰
Thank you for sharing this recipe
Yummy .. I put garlic and olive oil on them and a tiny dash of salt. Eat it as a salad or as a sandwich, on French bread. I even have made dandelion burritos. I buy mine in the store , in the old days we picked them in grandmas yard.
The bitter is the good part !!! LoL
The stems are yummy ! I only cut off the very bottom of the stems, because they are hard to clean, so, just chop them off.
I sauteed some with ginger, garlic, and onions and it tastes great
***** That sounds delicious!
Natie mine was too bitter 😁😖
@@Sofiaasal you need the youngest leaves. They get more bitter as they age. The ones she uses in this video look too old. If you grow your own you can pick baby leaves and they're good raw e.g. in salads.
I boiled my own backyard dandelions after washing them then mix them with butter salt pepper and garlic powder they were tasting awesome and they are healthy
Thank you When I was child this was our first spring salad.
Super interesting vlog. Thank you!
… great recipe! Thanks… the taste was good… !!!
Good vid. I always learn a lot from your videos and share them on facebook for my brother to see. He has been diagnosed with MS and this information is good for him.
It doesn't sound like they are super yummy, but the nutritional value is worth giving them a try. Thanks!
🙏 Thank you for great recipes.
Thank you for your video. I follow your recipe. Garlic and soy sauce and lemon juice or organic vinegar. Taste good. Great information. God Bless
Thank you for your lovely video

I heard dandelion had a lot of benefit to eat thank for the videos
Informative video thanks for sharing
Awesome !
Very good, thanks! 👍
I never have eaten dandelion greens before,but I.do give them to my beared dragon, they love them, I put them in a salad for her with other things , fruit, crickets, and worms. I decided to cook some this week.
I asume these go well in a green smoothie ? Might have to give that a try someday. Thanks for the great video !!
thanks. very informative. great recipe.
where can we find dandelion in the phils.?
Thank you so much!! Great video
Thank you for sharing
Best, quickest way Ive gotten info on dandelion greens. I just found ur channel today. I have liked some vids and subscribed. Thanks for all the info!! Have u also heard that dandelion greens aid in fertility? That's how I found out abt dandelion greens. Hubby n I are workin on our family and I was researching holistic/homeopathic/natural ways to aid in fertility. Of course, its winter time and I cant get any fresh greens. But I cant wait til spring to try these out. Again, thanks!
Great video!
Wow ! Came here to learn about Dandelion Greens and fell in love ! You are simply beautiful.
Great 101 job. Covered all bases and very informative. I'm an expert now! ...but totally infatuated :-)
Yes, yummy and good for you.....and....if you have any garden space......just let them grow there!!
Great video! thanks 4 sharin
Thank you. The greens are also known to pull toxins from the blood and relieve stress on the liver.
I just pulled a whole bunch from the garden... triple washed, picking through each time to get rid of any wilted or discolored leaves. They are now in the fridge, haven't decided if I'll make a raw salad or saute them yet... I have so many, I can probably try both! (I also cleaned and roasted the roots, will try that later as a caffeine free coffee alternative...)
Having in yard those . Inspiring to eat those tomorrow.
I just ate them straight from my back yard, I feel empowered !😄
Got 90 seconds complete recipe and instruction Dandelion Wine the real deal, . ua-cam.com/video/QopCNdqzv5E/v-deo.html part 1, 2& 3
I loved the end :D haha too funny.
I saw then in the fields but I had no idea you could eat them! Great tips!!! :)
This grows on our garden in tons.
omg love this
Looking at trying this😁
Brilliant
You are really smart dani, you are really helping me lose weight and eat healthier. I was actually thinking about dandelions lately... I heard you can put it in salad, but I imagined the FLOWERS in the salad haha. They're everywhere though, can't we just pick them?
I've never tried BUT I would image they could!
.. or just pick them from your (chemical-free) garden ...
yeez vary gud
Yes. I picked up a bunch of dandelions and planted them in my flower box. They sprouted like crazy.
Once a week we cook dandelions in my house..we love it..
Nice video! Thanks for sharing ways to use the greens. Dandelions are good for gut health! Inulin in the root as a prebiotic to feed our probiotics, they help to support bile flow, and more! I just created a video on it, too
i just picked some biking around my neighborhood :)
Just make sure no chemicals were sprayed, hence weed killer,
Boil dandelion green, strain them. Add olive oil, lemon, oragano or salt. YUMMY!!! OPA!!!!
You're the coolest on the entire planet!
Happy 4th ♥️🇺🇸👍
Good video but make sure the kitchen sink is super clean I read that it often has more bacteria than the toilet, the most in most homes. I also read that it is bad to fry olive oil because you don’t want to heat it above 350 Celsius because it can start to smoke and produce a carcinogen
Just cooked some up from by backyard and mmm good! Makes me want to multiply them all around lol.
Next time I see them in the market I'm going to give them a try.
Thanks
go to a local park. you'll find plenty for free. :)
Louisa Capell ONLY if you know the park isn't being sprayed with pesticide.
Thanks 😊
also highly beneficial as a tea or infusion.
My husband loves these we eat them once weekly in some form.
Thank YOU !
Thank you.
If bothered by bitterness for raw salad - a bit of sugar solves it.
Coat leaves first with olive oil before anything else - keeps them from getting soggy at all (same hint for all leaf salads)
They keep going until the fall - new plants all the time.
HI Dani how many cloves of garlic do you use? and how long do you saute the greens for? can i saute the stems to or do i need to use them in a vegetable broth?
you are good!
I NEVER would have guessed dandelions had a single beneficial use whatsoever! Pretty cool!
Nice
I've never tried spinach chips, only kale chips! Maybe I can do a little experimenting.
buy them?? nope.. got out to your yard or pasture and pick small tender ones.cut off the tough roots and then wash wash wash untill all of the dirt is gone ,..make an italian oil and vinegar dressing add hard boiled eggs and toss , have a nice crusty Italian bread.. yummm dinner is ready.
I know. who BUYS dandelion? they grow even is sidewalk cracks!
Sonia Medori-Vigil City people
You shouldn't really do that. Because you don't know if those dandelions have been sprayed with pesticides.
Yes buy them. Otherwise, I'd have to be let out of the car at the median that divides the highway.
How do your dandelions look so good. Do you grow them in a garden bed. Also I had a hard time getting the roots out bc we have a lot of clay dirt..and I was afraid my husband would say something about holes in the yard..
I'd never buy dandelions - i get mine free from my garden, and they taste great.
Art in Urban Nature Lucky for you! They must be amazing when they are that fresh.
They are, even my 9 year old son loves them :)
Dandelions are best just as they are. Clean and eat. Tifaf as they are called in north africa had been eaten for thousands of years.
I using Dandelion are very effective at many things.
I just wait till they are growing along the dual carriage way outside of my house.. Hundreds of thousands of them.. The road partition is just solid yellow for 3 miles when they are in bloom.
Thanks for sharing. Is 'rocket salad' part of the dandelion family ?
They taste delicious in pho!
Claire Holman you right
I made a couple videos on this dandelions I got my dandelions from my own back yard, I think the bitter part has more nutrition that's what's better, I boiled mine and then put them in a bowl with butter and garlic powder salt and pepper and they were awesome and healthy
It's a good idea to add a dash of something sour to help make sure the oxalates don't end up creating kidney stones.
Just braze in grapeseed oil , sprinkle organic ground turmeric , add minced chives then, lightly drizzle with honey. YUM
